Talk:Hala (film)

Reliable sources

@Affied: I'm sure you're right with your reverts, but please could you explain why the sources are not reliable? This will help with any future dispute and/or page protection (if needed). Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:58, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

• I am open to being wrong on this one, but both the Muslim Vibe and AliWaba sources are just collections of tweets in the form of an article. Neither of the sources appear on critic aggregator sites (Rottentomatoes and Metacritic), not that they need to be to be considered RS, but that would be a indicator that they might be. The Now Magazine source may be RS and is an OP-ED that brings up one writers concerns of Orientalist ideas in movies (does not address white savior or Islamophobia) with Hala as an example in the beginning of the article. I would argue that this concern needs to have some supporting sources in other RS - otherwise it feels very much like cherry picking one writer's opinion to push a specific POV.
